Method

To make the sauce, start off by grinding the walnuts with a pestle and mortar till they resemble a dry paste, then transfer them to the goblet of a liquidiser.

Now halve the pickled chillies and scrape out the seeds, then add these to the liquidiser along with the shallot, garlic, cottage cheese, groundnut oil, milk, cayenne and a good seasoning of salt. Whizz them all together until you have a smooth sauce, then transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the wine vinegar. Taste to check the seasoning, then prepare the rest of the dish.

Roast the wedges in the pre-heated oven for 18 minutes, then arrange them in the base of a serving dish. Halve the eggs and place them over the wedges, cut side up, and arrange the pepper strips over the eggs. Place an olive on top of each one and drizzle some of the sauce over the whole lot. Serve the rest of the sauce in a bowl to pass round.
